Will the hard top still work with the cut doors?

The doors are just wrangler halfies, the hard top would porb still go on it but im hard on **** it would be in pieces after one trip, and not to mention it gets real top heavy with that up there.

I see. Didn't know if you guys worked that in with the cage or not. Gonna have to check this rig out sometime. Anyone coming down for the Slade benefit ride?

Just threw that time out there I figured I'd head that way after work !

JeepHD · 05-27-2010, 02:33 PM

Saw the rig in person at BigRock. Nice build. Really wanted to go back out and wheel with you, but it was probably a good thing I headed for home, or I am sure it would have been late getting home.

Hopefully we'll meet again and do some wheelin. I'd like to see the rig in action.

jwend · 06-03-2011, 11:55 PM

OK so the next stage has started..... four link the front, full hydro, fox shox, and all the other goodies.... the old jeep drive train is getting sold along with the propane to make room for the new 5.3 reverse manual T400 and atlas (maybe atlas) combo...pics and updates will follow all work is being preformed at red9 fab check it out! It will be a beast!!

yellowjacket · 06-04-2011, 10:03 AM
